First page print time

The time from the receipt of a print command to the exit from the printer of the first page printed in black and white, in other words, how long after pressing the "Print" button, the user will receive the first page. Most often indicated for draft (fastest) print mode, higher quality will take longer. You should pay attention to this parameter if you often need to print small documents (on one or several pages) on the printer.

OPC drum resource

The photoconductor is used in laser and LED printers (see Printing technology); during use, due to constant contact with paper, scratches and abrasions appear on it, which significantly affect print quality. In some printers, the photoconductor is part of the cartridge — in this case, its resource is equal to the resource of the cartridge, the drum is installed and changed along with it. In other models, the drum is installed separately.

The drum yield is the maximum number of pages that a printer with a drum unit can print without any noticeable loss in quality. It is usually specified for printers with a separate drum. The resource is a rather approximate value, because depends on the specific conditions of using the printer, and in fact it may differ from the claimed value both in one direction and in the other.

Noise level

Approximate noise level generated by the printer during normal operation. The decibels in which the noise level is expressed is a non-linear value, so it is easiest to evaluate this indicator using comparative tables. The quietest printers give out about 35 dB — this is the volume of a conversation in a whisper, such noise will not stand out even in a quiet library reading room. A volume of 40 dB approximately corresponds to a conversation at an average volume, according to sanitary standards, this is the upper limit of permissible constant noise in residential premises during the day. For offices, the border is slightly higher — 55 – 60 dB, this is the volume of a conversation in raised tones. And the most powerful and heavy models give out up to 70 dB — this is comparable to a noisy city street; if such a printer is planned to be used frequently, it is advisable to install it in a separate room.

In general, lower noise levels make the device more comfortable to use, but may affect performance and/or price.
